Songles by Karl Blau

Songles is a collection of singles more or less. With enough songs laying around that something more coherent could be made of it I began putting the pieces back together from a tape release I made for What The Heck Fest in 2011 also entitled "Songles." Coming back to it to make the KLAPS release, I had to re-record many of the tracks just to get the feeling right of the record it wanted to be.

Recorded in a Stevie Wonder style, that is to say by multi-tracking by my lonesome, Songles is mostly 4 track reel to reel recordings from here at Hot Soup, Anacortes.

After a lot of love, "Songles" came together nicely with 10 tracks - it's concise and fun and stands on its own as a proper album as well as a collection. Many of these songs have already been recorded again for the freshly started label Space Bomb out of Richmond, VA. The Space Bomb release (2014) will be a cousin to Matt White's "Big Inner" which came out in Spring 2013 as it was recorded at the same time with the same backing band - the Spacebomb crew.
